Usualy if you are admin on the machine and do a right clic properties on the file you just need to uncheck the read only on the file, if it won't let you just go on safe mode.DemonicSandwich wrote:My mother fucked up the family PC somehow. She was trying to clear off a bunch of her shit when she could no longer delete anything.
She calls me out and I find that all the files in her folder are read only, and said attributes won't change. The folder the shit is in is read only and won't change, and so is the entire directory leading to it.
Then I take a look at the main directories, the entire file system is read only, non of the user files/folders can be edited or deleted and that attribute can't be changed.
Thank goodness I don't let anyone in my family use my machine. It would be dead the next day.
Btw, anyone got an idea as to how to fix that PC?
Make a file.bat and write this on it with a text editor:
attrib -r *.*
Then double clic the bat file and it will open prompt, this command will remove read only propertie from all files in the folder you launch the bat, also make sure the folder isn't set to read only too.
